So are my recommendations really enough for HD contents?

 

One of the most frequently asked questions is if these systems can play 1080p mkv files (as well as BD movies) fine. The answer is yes as you can see in the above chart. Here are screenshots taken in one of the recommended systems (the low-end Intel/NVIDIA system) when a 1080p mkv file is played back. Whether hardware acceleration of the GPU is on or off, the file can be played back fine.

 

* Pentium Dual-Core E5200 2.5GHz 2MB L2 cache

* GA-E7AUM-DS2H GeForce 9400 mATX

* DDR2-800 2 x 1GB

* Vista SP1 32-bit

* MPC-HC with MPC Video Decoder (the first screenshot)/ffdshow Video Decoder (the second screenshot) and madFlac Decoder

* 1080p mkv file created from Blu-ray Spider-Man 3 with FLAC audio track encoded from Dolby TrueHD; the first 100 seconds of chapter 44 with max bitrate around 36Mbps

 

Hardware Acceleration ON (MPC Video Decoder)

 

If GPU hardware acceleration is used, max CPU usage is around 33%.

 

 

Hardware Acceleration OFF (ffdshow Video Decoder)

 

ffdshow does not support GPU hardware acceleration (yet). Max CPU usage is around 70%.

 

 

If you still have no clue what to choose ...

 

Then I first recommend the low-end Intel/NVIDIA system. This system has the most powerful integrated GPU, supports multichannel LPCM, and easy to build and configure. Then follows the low-end AMD/AMD system with a powerful (discrete) GPU that gives superb picture quality.
